Atlético de Madrid continues with the same goal it set last summer: to sign young talent. The red-and-white club knows that securing the future is essential, so investing in footballers with a lot of potential is mandatory. Simeone needs reinforcements in the midfield, and the sports management has set its sights on a young Turk.
In his country, his talent is already being compared to that of Arda Güler, a young prospect at Real Madrid. Several media outlets like ElDesmarque indicate that the red-and-white club is after Ísak Vural, an 18-year-old midfielder who is almost six ft. three in. tall (1.90 meters).
What makes Ísak Vural special?
The young midfielder, currently at Frosinone Calcio in Serie A, is characterized by his excellent vision of the game and his technical ability. His skill in controlling the pace of the game and his ability to make a difference with his ball touch have put him on the radar of teams like Atlético de Madrid.
The interest of the mattress club in Vural is no coincidence. Atlético de Madrid's sports management has a clear objective of attracting young talent to the squad coached by Simeone. In fact, Vural is considered to have potential comparable to or even greater than that of Arda Güler, another great promise of Turkish soccer, who has also been linked to the club.
Atlético de Madrid: a bet on the future
Atlético de Madrid is not only interested in Vural for his current talent but also for his enormous long-term potential. The idea is to integrate the midfielder into the reserve team, where he can adapt to the team's playing style and develop in a competitive environment. However, it is not ruled out that Vural could train with the first team and, if his performances are outstanding, have the opportunity to debut in LaLiga.
The red-and-white club sees Vural as a strategic reinforcement for the future, especially considering the success its youth academy has had in recent years. With players like Antoine Griezmann and Koke, Atlético de Madrid has proven to be an ideal place for the growth of young prospects, and Vural would be no exception.
